Lately I've been wondering: Where do I stop? At the beginning I only looked to see if I could find my mother's parents and when my father's mother kicked my grandfather out. I didn't know anything. And then I discovered my mother's side went to the Mayflower. I still wasn't into it seriously, just curious, and who doesn't like a jigsaw puzzle with a mystery written on it. So now today, barely 5 years and untold dollars later I'm wondering Where do I stop? Originally the Atlantic Ocean seemed like a good place. But one thing led to another and I crossed the pond. I knew I was over my head in Germany but Yorkshire was just like being home. I've left one German branch to a newly found cousin who is much more fluent in German genealogy than I am. My Prince Edward Island great grandfather has been a real trial and I'm still not sure I am on the right track there. Needless to say, the Bailey branch: Three brothers came to America and each married a woman named Elizabeth, etc, has caused me more pain than pleasure. And then there's the intermarriage in every branch in every generation. Brothers, sisters, cousins all marrying back and forth from one branch to another. My tree has grown to over 5,000 people and I can't keep them all in my head any more. Every time I think I've gone far enough a new cousin finds me and it starts all over again. I am delighted to have met so many people who are related to me and who are tracking family. I now need a diagram to know where they fit so that any discovery I make can be shared with them. And yes, Randy, you were one of the first people to fit into my tree. I didn't add you because I had no idea we had any connection other than that couple and I didn't expect to be collaborating with you regularly. We both had that branch filled out. End of story there. It seems to me, anything farther back than 1750 would not have anything to find other than names and I'm interested in more than that. I want to know about the people wearing those names. So: Where do I stop?
